HO SD40T-2 Locomotive with DCC and Sound D&RGW #5407 (ATH71853)
HO-scale SD40T-2 tunnel-motor locomotive in D&RGW livery, designed for HO model railroad layouts. This detailed reproduction captures the six-axle EMD SD40T-2’s distinctive tunnel-motor cooling features and includes a SoundTraxx Econami sound decoder for authentic engine, horn, and bell sounds that work on both DC and DCC layouts.
With LED lighting, see-through cab windows, and fine-scale detailing, the model delivers a realistic, prototypical look. The DCC-ready chassis includes a 21-pin NEM plug for easy decoder upgrades, while the drive uses a 5-pole motor with flywheels and all-wheel drive for smooth, quiet operation on standard HO track. It’s built for common HO curves (minimum radius 18 inches; 22 inches recommended) and can accommodate a Genesis motor upgrade for higher performance, with nickel-plated machined wheels and RP25 contours for reliable running.
